thanks, karen. love your mississippi outdoors. i vote for your florida beaches, dawn. bill, this louisiana seafood is delicious. we're having such a great year on the gulf we've decided to put aside our rivalry. now is the perfect time to visit anyone of our states. the beaches and waters couldn't be more beautiful. take a boat ride, go fishing or just lay in the sun. we've got coastline to explore and wildlife to photograph. and there's world class dining with our world famous seafood. so for a great vacation this year, come to the gulf. its all fabulous but i give florida the edge. right after mississippi. you mean alabama. say louisiana or there's no dessert. this invitation is brought to you by bp and all of us who call the gulf home. >>> happy holidays from kabul, afghanistan. i want to say happy new year to my friends and family especially brad ludington. i love you and miss yo. go panthers. >> happy. we miss you, we'll see you soon. >> >>> now here's jeff glor with a look at what's coming up on monday on "cbs this morning." >>> good morning. on monday we're goin
